Well I started on the airbox and the band clamps are too small so off to get some larger ones. When I opened the airbox the gasket and TB bolts were inside so they didn’t forget so I have spares now lol.
bled the cooling system and programmed the computer so all that’s left is the oil change to 5/50 and topping the coolant after the airbox is sorted

Finally finished and so far just driving it around letting it get to temp and checking the coolant levels to let air bleed out of the system.
Overall I would say fairly easy if you have all your fluids ready and the most important thing as soon as you get the kit is to download the stock file and get it to Whipple so they can get you your tune file and you have it ready to go when you start the install.
I’ve had my tune file for over a couple weeks.
Total time was about 15hrs taking out the 3-4 trips to get little things.
almost forgot that I didn’t have to cut that fitting as there was an extension provided and I had to cut the purge valve line but I didn’t see that in the instructions.
also I had instructions for a pump my truck didn’t have so I assume that was the auto start/stop system.

Got it out this morning and threw 4 codes all knock sensor related so I cleared the codes and it seemed fine then every time I started the truck same codes so I was concerned and emailed whipple and they narrowed it down to a couple connectors and found one unplugged so seems good now

I did mine and was lucky enough to have the whole kit work except missing a horn relocation bracket.
